The present invention relates to a process for dyeing natural or synthetic polyamide fibre materials using fixing agents, and to novel fixing agents.

The practice of dyeing has recently led to increased requirements regarding the quality of the dyeings and the profitability of the dyeing process.

The novel compounds of the formulae (16) and (17) are as preferred above.

The process for the preparation of the novel compounds of the formula (16) comprises reacting cyanuric halide, in particular cyanuric fluoride or, preferably, cyanuric chloride, with a compound of the formula

W1 -H (26),

a compound of the formula

W2 -H (27)

and, if appropriate, a compound of the formula

Y2 -H (28)

in which W1 and W2 are as defined under formula (16) and Y2 is amino, N-mono- or N,N-di-C1 -C4 alkylamino which is unsubstituted or substituted in the alkyl moiety, C5 -C7 -cycloalkylamino which is unsubstituted or substituted in the cycloalkyl ring, phenylamino or N-C1 -C4 alkyl-N-phenylamino which are unsubstituted or substituted in the phenyl ring, or N-heterocyclic radicals which may contain further hetero atoms.

Preferably, the cyanuric halide is first reacted with approximately stoichiometric amounts of a compound of the formula (26) at a temperature of -5° to 20°C, preferably 0° to 5°C, the pH being kept neutral to acid, preferably at 2 to 7, in particular 2 to 4, by addition of suitable bases, for example alkali metal bases, such as lithium hydroxide or carbonate, sodium hydroxide or carbonate or potassium hydroxide or carbonate. Approximately stoichiometric amounts of a compound of the formula (27) are advantageously added to the resulting reaction mixture, and this compound is reacted with the triazine derivative at slightly elevated temperature, preferably at 10° to 60°C, in particular 15° to 30°C, and at a neutral to slightly acid pH, which is preferably 6 to 7. If the compounds of the formulae (26) and (27) are identical compounds, about 2 molar equivalents of the compound of the formula (26) are advantageously employed, and this compound is reacted with about 1 molar equivalent of cyanuric halide.

The triazinyl compounds obtainable according to the process described above still contain a halogen atom which, if desired, can be converted into an amino group, into an N-mono- or N,N-di-C1 -C4 alkylamino group which is unsubstituted or substituted in the alkyl moiety, into a C5 -C7 cycloalkylamino group which is unsubstituted or substituted in the cycloalkyl ring, into a phenylamino or N-C1 -C4 alkyl-N-phenylamino group, which are unsubstituted or substituted in the phenyl ring, or into an N-heterocyclic group Y2, which may contain further hetero atoms, by reaction with a compound of the formula (28) at elevated temperature, preferably 20° to 70°C, and at a neutral to slightly alkaline pH, which is, for example, 7 to 9, depending on the compound of the formula (28) employed.

The process for the preparation of the novel compounds of the formula (17) in which n is the number 0 comprises reacting a compound of the formula ##STR21## in any sequence with a compound of the formula ##STR22## and a compound of the formula ##STR23## in which R14, R5, L1, Y3, W3 and W5 are as defined under formula (17) and Hal is halogen, in particular fluorine or, preferably, chlorine.

The reaction of the compound of the formula (29) with the compounds of the formulae (30) and (31) is carried out, for example, at slightly elevated temperature, preferably 10° to 60°C, in particular 15° to 50°C, and at a neutral to slightly acid pH, which is preferably 5 to 7. If the compounds of the formulae (30) and (31) are identical compounds, about 2 molar equivalents of the compound of the formula (30) are advantageously employed and this compound is reacted with about 1 molar equivalent of the compound of the formula (29).

Another embodiment for the preparation of the novel compounds of the formula (17) in which n is the number 0 comprises first subjecting a compound of the formula (29) to a condensation reaction with cyanuric halide, in particular cyanuric fluoride or, preferably, cyanuric chloride, and then reacting the resulting product in any sequence with a compound of the formula H-W3 and a compound of the formula H-W5.

The reaction of the cyanuric halide with the compound of the formula (29) is carried out, for example, as described above for the reaction of cyanuric halide with the compound of the formula (26). The reaction of the reaction product thus obtained with a compound of the formula H-W3 and a compound of the formula H-W5 can be carried out as described above for the reaction of the compound of the formula (29) with the compounds of the formulae (30) and (31).

The process for the preparation of the novel compounds of the formula (17) in which n is the number 1 comprises reacting a compound of the formula ##STR24## in any desired sequence with the compounds of the formulae (30) and (31) and then reacting the resulting reaction product with a compound of the formula ##STR25## in which R14, R15, L1, L2, Y3, W3, W4 and W5 are as defined under formula (17) and Hal is halogen, in particular fluorine or, preferably, chlorine.

The reaction of the compound of the formula (32) with the compounds of the formulae (30) and (31) can be carried out as described above for the reaction of the compound of the formula (29) with the compounds of the formulae (30) and (31). The subsequent reaction of the reaction product with the compound of the formula (33) can be carried out analogously.

The compounds employed in the above processes are known or can be obtained analogously to known compounds.

The compounds of the formulae (16) and (17) are present either in the form of their free acid or, preferably, as salts thereof.

Salts are, for example, the alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or ammonium salts or the salts of an organic amine. Examples are the sodium, lithium, potassium or ammonium salts or the salt of mono-, di- or triethanolamine.

No special devices are necessary for the dyeing process according to the invention. The customary dyeing apparatuses and machines can be used.

The liquor ratio can be chosen within a wide range, for example from 1:5 to 1:60, in particular from 1:5 to 1:30.

Dyeing is carried out, for example, at a temperature of 80° to 110°C, in particular a temperature of 95° to 105° C. Dyeing is preferably carried out at a pH of 3 to 6, in particular a pH of 3 to 5.5, and preferably a pH of 4 to 5.

Dyeing by the exhaust method is preferred.

Fixing with the fixing agent can be carried out both during the dyeing process and subsequently.

The fixing agent is preferably used in an amount of 0.1 to 10% by weight, in particular 0.5 to 5% by weight and preferably 0.5 to 3% by weight, based on the weight of the fibre material to be dyed.

Fixing with the fixing agent is preferably carried out in one step, in which the pH is brought to a value greater than or equal to 6, preferably 6 to 12, and in particular 6 to 10. The pH is preferably brought here to a value greater than or equal to 7, preferably 7 to 12, and in particular 7 to 10.

Thus, for example, fixing can be carried out in a separate bath after the dyeing, dyeing being carried out without the presence of the fixing agent. It has also proved advantageous to increase the pH, as described above, in this fixing step.

According to a preferred embodiment, dyeing is carried out in the presence of the fixing agent, which, for example, is added to the dyebath during the dyeing process or even already at the start of the dyeing process. In this case, the pH is preferably increased, as described above for the fixing step, during the dyeing process or after this.

The process according to the invention is suitable, by methods known per se, for dyeing natural or synthetic polyamide fibre materials, for example fibre materials of silk and, in particular, wool and synthetic polyamides. Dyeing of natural polyamide fibre materials, in particular of wool, is preferred. The textile material defined above can be in the most diverse forms of processing, for example as fibre, yarn, woven fabric or knitted fabric.

Level dyeings with good allround properties, in particular good fastness to rubbing, wet processing, wet rubbing and light, are obtained. The wet fastness properties of the dyeings, which are improved by the treatment with the fixing agent, the dyeings simultaneously having a very good levelness, are to be emphasized

The following examples serve to illustrate the invention. The temperatures are stated in degrees Celsius, parts are parts by weight and the percentage data are based on percentages by weight, unless noted otherwise. Parts by weight bear the same relation to parts by volume as the kilogramme to the litre.

Dyeing Example 1

100 parts of a woollen fabric are pretreated for 5 minutes at a temperature of 30°C and a pH of 4.5 in an aqueous bath which comprises 2000 parts of water, 5 parts of sodium sulfate, 2 parts of sodium acetate and 2 parts of 80% acetic acid. After addition of an aqueous solution comprising 0.9 part of the dye of the formula (102), the dye liquor is kept at a temperature of 30°C for a further 5 minutes and then heated to a temperature of 100°C at a heating-up rate of 1.5°C per minute. Dyeing is carried out at this temperature for 60 minutes, the bath is then cooled to 50°C and the dye liquor is drained off. The woolen fabric, which has been dyed in an orange colour shade, is rinsed and pretreated for 5 minutes at a temperature of 30°C and a pH of 7 in a fresh aqueous bath which comprises 2000 parts of water, 5 parts of sodium sulfate, 11.6 parts of disodium hydrogen phosphate and 7.6 parts of potassium hydrogen phosphate. After addition of an aqueous solution comprising 2 parts of the fixing agent of the formula (129), the dye liquor is kept at a temperature of 30°C for a further 5 minutes and then heated to 100°C at a heating-up rate of 1.5°C per minute. This temperature is maintained for 60 minutes. The bath is then cooled to a temperature of 50°C and the dye liquor is drained off. The woolen fabric is rinsed and dried. The resulting dyeing is level and has very good wet fastness properties.

Dyeing Example 2

100 parts of a woolen fabric are pretreated for 5 minutes at a temperature of 30°C and a pH of 4.5 in an aqueous bath which comprises 2000 parts of water, 5 parts of sodium sulfate, 2 parts of sodium acetate and 2 parts of 80% acetic acid. After addition of an aqueous solution comprising 0.9 part of the dye of the formula (102) and 2 parts of the fixing agent of the formula (129), the dye liquor is kept at a temperature of 30°C for a further 5 minutes and then heated to a temperature of 100°C at a heating-up rate of 1.5°C per minute. Dyeing is carried out at this temperature for 40 minutes, 15 parts of disodium hydrogen phosphate are added and dyeing is continued at a pH of 7 for a further 40 minutes. The bath is then cooled to 50°C and the dye liquor is drained off. The woolen fabric, which has been dyed in an orange colour shade, is rinsed and dried. The resulting dyeing is level and has very good wet fastness properties.

Dyeing Example 3

100 parts of a woolen fabric are pretreated for 5 minutes at a temperature of 30°C and a pH of 4.5 in an aqueous bath which comprises 2000 parts of water, 5 parts of sodium sulfate, 2 parts of sodium acetate and 2 parts of 80% acetic acid. After addition of an aqueous solution comprising 0.9 part of the dye of the formula (102), the dye liquor is kept at a temperature of 30°C for a further 5 minutes and then heated to a temperature of 100C., at a heating-up rate of 1.5°C per minute. Dyeing is carried out at this temperature for 40 minutes, 15 parts of disodium hydrogen phosphate and 2 parts of the fixing agent of the formula (129) are added and dyeing is continued at a pH of 7 for a further 40 minutes. The bath is then cooled to 50°C and the dye liquor is drained off. The woolen fabric, which has been dyed in an orange colour shade, is rinsed and dried. The resulting dyeing is level and has very good wet fastness properties.
